Dorset is an excellent county for moths as well as butterflies. The Dorset Moth Group lists 716 macromoths as recorded in Dorset - possibly the largest number for any area in the UK.

Butterfly Conservation works to conserve moths as well as butterflies, and is closely linked to the Dorset Moth Group regarding sightings and other information, so rather than duplicating the work they do:
